Hey, farsal.

I have those exact wheels on my car.

They fit perfectly with the RAD custom lug bolts.

HOWEVER, you can't use the tires. They will rub on the front when you turn (they hit the upper ball joint stud). Wanna guess how I know?

Max size is 235/45-17.

Another word of caution: Once you change them and lose the extra bit of sidewall, that gap over the wheels is MUCH more apparent, so get ready to do some lowering, too.

Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg
